Sweet Potato Noodles with Home-Made Pesto

High in antioxidants, vitamins and weight-zapping resistant starch, they’re a much healthier option than regular noodles.

Add to the mix some home-made pesto and you’ve got one tasty and ultra healthy dish!

The dietary fibre resistant starch resists digestion (it’s all in the name), making it an effective weight loss aid as it literally goes right through you!

Several studies (including this one) have found that regular consumption of foods which contain resistant starch – including sweet potatoes – can reduce fat faster than some non-resistant starch foods.

This is because resistant starch has the ability to promote healthy gut, which in turn leaves one feeling satiated.

So include resistant starch foods into your diet. Your gut and waistline will love you all the more for it!

This sweet potato noodle recipe is an ideal way of getting a delicious intake of resistant starch and is super quick and easy to make.

The spiralized sweet potatoes are sautéed for a few minutes and the home-made pesto – which is just as quick to make – compliments it really well.

If you wish, you could add some more vegetables of your choice for a more substantial meal or just eat it on its own (I added some sautéed mushrooms and spinach). Either way, this sweet potato noodle with pesto dish is utterly delish!
